    If you're adding some stray beings to the Sakura, maybe add Lizardmen as well. Clashing the worlds of warhammer and age of sigmar and using beings from an army that also fights for the good side. Kroxigor or a quick Sakura Skink would look epic

      @NikSwiftDigs ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ve always considered the Tau to be the 40K equivalent of the Fantasy Lizardmen/Seraphon, so this conversion makes perfect sense to me. And would look amazing! Consider the amazing combination of Aztec and Japanese aesthetics in the conversions!

    • @randifelix
      @randifelix ปีที่แล้ว

      @TheYoinkersElement it so happens that a friend of mine has a T'au army and I have a Seraphon one. So if Tabletop Time isn't doing the conversion, I can still do it

    I actually find your take on the Tau super interesting. I'd love to see more of them, and how this unique take on a Tau force develops...but I'm also super-looking forward to Chaos also. :3 Especially considering the strides yer making in modeling. Man, you made your own Tau armor. That's *cool*.

    Waiting in between sculpting stages is very good advice! The two really fit well with the rest. Especially the beast man looks quite different while still fitting into the force.

    Beastmen are so iconic, adding them to 40k is something I've always wanted.
    I remember converting one of the old, old, old beastmen models to have an augmented eye, metal leg and boltgun/chainsword combo.
    This was 19-20 years ago though xD

    I think what would be good is a ‘let’s paint every legion video’ maybe resulting in a diorama. I think your channel will be excellent for it because you’ve already done large scale builds and talking about the lore while you make the builds make the videos so much better.
    Maybe just me thinking it.

    I just thought of an idea for some Sakura Auxiliary; kitbash some Skaven models or find some other ratmen models to use. And for a narrative reason to have these, they're used to squeeze into spaces most other species are too big to get into and makes necessary repairs.

  • @gabiballetje

    PiperMakes has awesome Tau stuff ! I immediately recognized the work a few videos ago.
    Some of the best out there !
    And honestly, adding your bits to them you can indeed already be done.
    And honestly, i did see more of the Samurai style Tau before, and i loved them, and honestly, my Tau are very much jungle themed, more like they're going up against Catachans, aaaand i am not sure modding them now would still work out, but honestly, i'd love to. But for instance on the Battlesuits, my armor panels are all already on, so that would be hard to add the more Samurai looking plates to them still...
    I also really liked the Robo Allies, and they fit the theme of the Tau, just more advanced drones basically. That said, you might think about replacing all the drones with those.
    And yeah, because they do work together with some other races, you can basically go all out and do all kinds of weird things, maybe even mix several species into a single unit.
    Have also seen some great conversions of humans that joined the Tau. Imperial Guardsmen in Tau outfits and with Tau weapons looks awesome.
    Also, Wargame Exclusive also has some nice extra Tau ideas.
